We know that on the busy, newly built Star Wars Stage back during Summer, 1979, the impressive site comprising the Rebel hangar base on Hoth had a lot of visitors eager to see The Empire Strikes Back's stars at work in front of and behind the camera. Some of these visitors were journalists, some were studio 'suits' eager to find out what was going on with the over schedule and budget first sequel, whilst others were friends and colleagues to the main stars. Carrie Fisher had numerous pals see her during filming on the Rebel Base set, including fellow actor Treat Williams, the pair making a brief cameo together as barely noticeable on screen Rebel soldiers rushing out of the hangar bay and onto the snowy surface. It was clearly a lot of fun for the duo, mixed in with lots of background artists playing Rebel ground soldiers, but is it also possible that Harrison Ford was eager to get in on the act too in playing a background crowd officer?. It certainly looks like it could be Ford seen in these screen captures, wearing the blight brown gilay, soon raising his hand with the exciting news (via tannoy provided in one version of the film by Mark Hamill himself) that his Rebel colleagues have scored a victory with the escaping first transport?
If anyone can confirm this is Ford, please get in touch...
